A member of Ekta Parishad is calling from Maldhan block in Sagar district of Madhya Pradesh to tell us that forest department is harassing a lot of adivasi people there. He says at least in 5 villages forest department people have burnt and broken the houses of the adivasis though they are living there from more than 20 years. They are also beating up the people and destroying their crops. They have also complained to the collector and people have applied everwhere for land deeds but no one listens.
